Hi – Got to Madison comfortably – Nancy had breakfast with me yesterday – Hewitts had lunch with me and are coming here to the Timbers for lunch on Tuesday. (My treat). Talked to Bill this AM – he is off tomorrow for 2 weeks – is negotiating for the new offices down the street. Has hired Ester to replace A. Groat until end of year. Are you enjoying my refridge handouts?
Love, Va

“Alphabet”
Alphabet carved out of the actual graphite on pencil stubs, using only a razor blade and sewing needle, without the use of a magnifying glass. It took approximately 2.5 years to complete this collection of pieces. Finished, July 2005

Married maybe, but wrinkled?
Bet the heat has been making you feel old and slow – the grass is always greener – I’m mildewed from the fog. Quit my job – last day was yesterday.
Love, Oga

Good to visit with you last night. Forgot to ask if you remembered to pick up the framed needlepoints in Miracle Mile? This is one of Van Gogh’s nice ones – I’m trying to find a print I can hang on the laundry door in my kitchen! Or another as nice. We got a mirror (and dresser) for the guest room – all ready for Jean and Tom. Raining and much cooler today.
Love to you, Va

Looks like Kathy and Nick will be going to Moscow soon after all! Val isn’t planning on visiting them but who knows… We have the tree up in our living room, dripping snow as A and V work on their homework. Went to church and saw Amahl and the N.V. with Edna today – very well done (Len Foli was in the orchestra!). See you next week.
Love, Tim
